UND Clinging to Logo Hope by Jonathan Munk
The University of North Dakota suffered another setback earlier this week when the NCAA denied their appeal to continue using what has been labeled a “hostile and abusive” logo. It’s a shame that the University won’t just pick up the pieces and move on, since their appeals have been repeatedly denied and the nearby Sioux tribe no longer approves of the “Fighting Sioux” moniker. But from what I have read, it seems that more appeals are in the pipeline from UND.
It seems these recent college mascot incidents have paved the way for more changes in sports mascots, most recently among high schools. A student mascot committeee from Webutuck High School in Poughkeepsie, NY, for example, has decided to change the look of their “Indian” mascot but still use a Native American theme. This after the state Commissioner asked that all schools stop using Indians as mascots.
If this trend continues, there may be thousands of schools organizing car washes and raffles to raise money for re-designed logos and sports uniforms. Some Governors may even be tempted to raise taxes to offset the additional costs of getting professional graphic design. Of course, if they use LogoWorks, maybe the costs won’t be as astronomical as they would from hiring freelancers; and the logos will still look good, unlike possible results of a school logo design contest.
